Sadly, takeout options that were once reasonably priced have become quite expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the sharp rise in inflation over the past year, the cost of living in the United States has increased significantly, driving up the cost of food and energy.<\/p>\n<p>But one thing that Americans thought they could always rely on was a cheap McDonald\u2019s meal.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Olive, a TikToker, has surprisingly suggested that may not be the case.<\/p>\n<p>The aspiring strongman showed off his latest McDonald\u2019s purchase\u2014a large order of fries, a Sprite, and a Smoky Double Quarter Pounder BLT burger\u2014in a video that was uploaded last year.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@topherolive\/video\/7179658803867077934\" data-video-id=\"7179658803867077934\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" >\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@topherolive\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@topherolive?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@topherolive<\/a> <a title=\"prices\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/prices?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#prices<\/a> <a title=\"inflation\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/inflation?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#inflation<\/a> <a title=\"laborshortage\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/laborshortage?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#laborshortage<\/a> <a title=\"fastfood\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fastfood?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#fastfood<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Topher\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7179658798561348395?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Topher<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say that this meal is more expensive than a Happy Meal when comparing what might be deemed a fair price.<\/p>\n<p>But only a few years ago, you would normally expect a single meal such as this to cost no more than $10, if not less.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, Christopher was taken aback as he glanced at his receipt, only to discover that he had been billed a hefty $16.10 for his meal.<\/p>\n<p>In the clip, he says: \u201cSo I get there\u2019s a labour shortage, I get there\u2019s wage increases and a number of other things but\u2026 sixteen dollars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSixteen dollars for a burger, a large fries and a drink.<\/p>\n<p>As of right now, the video has received close to 180,000 views and thousands of comments from the internet community.
